WWWFFFF. Hoboy. I want a nice camera but not if it's costs that much!! there has to be a good camera with that kind of power for around $300! Dude those pictures are bar none the best beamshots I've seen. Now mind you I've tried my hand at taking pictures of laser beams. I dont' get squat. Be proud of yur skills. Learn to take praise and improve so you get more praise hehe.
Yep, you can have a great camera and still not be able to get pics one thousandth of those. Gotta have a good location and know how to use your gear. Great pics Biffter!
As for cameras, you could do much of what his 5D can do with the cheaper ($600-800) Rebel XT and XTi cameras, but the lense he has is not so easily substituted, and that one alone would run a little over $1k last I checked.
If you're thinking in the $300 range and you don't mind size, a Canon S2 or S3 IS (or perhaps one of the Panasoniz FZ series) would serve you well, but it still wouldn't get close to comparing with the 5D/24-105L setup except in far zoom or close macro.
